You need to use Commons CLI (Command-Line Interface) to parse an application's command-line arguments.
To use Commons CLI 1.1 in a Maven 2 project, add the following
dependency to your project's pom.xml
:
Example 7.1. Adding a Dependency on Commons CLI
<dependency> <groupId>commons-cli</groupId> <artifactId>commons-cli</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </dependency>
If you are not sure what this means, I'd suggest reading Maven: The Definitive
Guide. When you depend on a library in Maven 2, all you need to
do is add the dependency groupId
,
artifactId
, and version
to your
project's dependencies. Once you do this, Maven 2 will download the
dependency and make it available on your project's classpath.
For more information about the Commons CLI project, see the Commons CLI project page at http://commons.apache.org/cli.
